Name: I Don’t Know What it is (Rufus Wainwright cover) by Ed Boxall
Duration: 2 min 54 s
Description: This is my cover of Rufus Wainwright’s magnificent track. I’ve simplified the complicated bit in the middle, but I hope I’ve still got the spirit of the song.

Hey, your track really hit me, especially that line. I make cover art that tells stories like that. Want to see some?

Beautiful interpretation, and lovely accompanying photo!

“Psycho Circuit: Voltage Dreams” is my creation — a surge of electronic energy, where distorted pulses, hypnotic beats, and electric atmospheres collide. It’s a journey through circuits of the mind, flickering like neon in the night.

Psycho Circuit : Voltage Dreams

made with 2 stylophones, 2 metronomes, zoom h1 (pictured) and NCH 
soon with be a longed for hike in the rain (we love the rain here in WA)
it has been so hot a dry for so many weeks, the forest wants to burn
metronomes were set at 40 bpm and i didn't change the speed for once

This is the latest in our series of songs Carl has written about us. Being as both Tez, a lifelong, and to a lesser degree, Carl are Manchester United fans, Carl siezed on the opportunity to celebrate their shared fandom. Although the lyrics are a little inscrutable to us Americans, we love that football (soccer) fans from across the pond will know exactly what he's talking about. 
  Carl wrote this song on his acoustic guitar, and upon sharing it with us, we weren't sure as to the direction we wanted to take it. JJ threw down first, adding his good-time-sounding upright piano and strikingly beautiful organ to the mix first. He also added the subtle human voice choral synth you hear throughout. Enchanted with Carl's composition, Josh next added his bass and mandolin both in the same recording session, without even closing his DAW. Mark was in right after, adding his friendly fiddle solo as well as fiddle fills throughout. Being as the song is about him, Tez came along shortly after and added the tuneful intro and outro on his guitar. Then, as it was just about to sit for a while, Ken added his very tasteful, perfect drums to the mix, thus completing the rhythm section. 
  Before we put a bow on it, though, Stephen made it back from his week in the Colorado wilderness in time to add his magical banjo to the mix. Speaking of mixes, now it was time for one, and we turned it over to him, our in house pro, to do the honors.
  We all really enjoyed working on this one. It is an example of Eclectic Collective taking one of Carls songs and having our way with it. Always a team effort getting it over the line, but we always manage to do it. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Original lyrics by The Beautiful Dark:

Division Two Champs, '75
Small consolation for '74 cries
Fan wow land psyched
True Red Devil in this life

We fell to Leeds
Last Division 1
We had the Irish
Man, I followed them
McGrath didn't train
A different breed
Golden era
Boozed up greats as seed

Then, we mostly won
But still, these moments to memories shone
Keane's end at Juventus
His team's power won
Beast perseverance
2-3 semi so they march on

Teddy & Ole
Broken Bayern lines
Videos with no YouTube
In sport mad mind

Great from great, Cantona
Flying curve ball martial artist
Old Leeds leech
A la French finest

Man Utd before Glazier fud
Old Trafford dreams
Red Devil blood
A fan forever no matter loss
Good grinding Fergie
Our hairdryer boss

True Red Devil
Hughesy's volleys
Arsenal disheveled
Good Giggsy speed
End to end
Back of the net
Great teen we get
Front of our dreams

True Red Devil
Scars from Aguero
And Barce's better
New cycles please
We've been Malcolmed
Bought like shop
These greedy Glaziers fucking up
Our theatre of dreams

If only for Fergie time
We'd be doing just fine




True Red Devil - The Eclectic Collective

Inspired by a good friend...

Goodbye star falling from the midnight sky
Your dreams that won't come true
Have left you wondering why?

Your Fantasy is nothing real to me, oh no
Goodbye Star
Can't you see that nothing good is free, oh no
Goodbye star
Goodbye to all who loved you from the very start
Goodbye to your words coming from your broken heart

The love you take is all that you can fake, oh yeah
Goodbye star
Your mystery is nothing we can't see, oh no
Goodbye star

Goodbye Star

Drifting Tide (Remix)

Time for a Change-up to a recent New Classical Piano Improvisation that captures the light and refraction of the tones that come in and out of focus as the music flows.

May you enJOY.

I Don’t Know What it is (Rufus Wainwright cover)

I am an artist, writer and musician from Hastings, UK.  I make slightly wonky acoustic folk-pop, often with unusual guitar tunings, along with instrumentals that mix acoustic and electronic textures. 

Musically my current obsession is Judee Sill.
But it always comes back to the music of my childhood- The Cocteau Twins, The Waterboys, ABBA, The Beatles, Joni Mitchell, Kate Bush.
